Risk-Taking in the Fitting Room (What Color Is Out of Your Comfort Zone?)

Pink is probably the most rarely-seen color in my closet. I tend to feel a bit too cutesy and girly when wearing the color, and thus own very little pink clothing.

However, when I popped my nose into J.Crew the other day, I couldn't help but be drawn toward this bright, almost neon pink sweater. Would I dare even try on such a pink sweater? I decided to take my chances and ventured into the fitting room. Much to my surprise I ended up loving the color! The touch of neon combined with the sleek silhouette was not only flattering, but didn't feel overly Barbie doll and girly.

The pink sweater was quickly wrapped up in tissue and on its way home with me.

Sometimes it's worth it to take your chances and try something on, even if you think you're going to hate it. Have you ever done that and ended up finding something you loved?
